I know I am. This tribute album (release date: January 30, 2007) comes at the height of my obsession with The Band. I've been less than enthralled with tribute efforts of the past, namely Encomium in which several 90's artists got together and botched song after song from the catalog of Led Zeppelin. But I have high hopes for Endless Highway, because I think songs by the Band are more accessible than those of Led Zeppelin; I mean, look at how great the Last Waltz turned out, e.g. the Staples Singers collaborating on "The Weight," etc.
The playlist can be found at: http://www.429records.com/endlesshighway I'm especially looking forward to My Morning Jacket's take on "It Makes No Difference" and Blues Traveler's version of "Rag Mama Rag."

Yeah, I'm very excited about this. I heard about it a while back on the Band website (http://theband.hiof.no). Some of those tracks really sound great. I also like seeing some of the lesser known tracks make the cut, like "Acadian Driftwood". I wish someone had done "When You Awake", I love that song.

If you haven't checked out My Morning Jacket's performance of It Makes No Difference from this year's Bonnaroo, I strongly suggest heading over to the Live Music Archive.
